The Off-beats

Topics: Nickelodeon, retro, 90's, kablam, off-beats, the offbeats, cartoon network

Language: English

The Off-Beats is an American animated series that was created by Mo Willems. The first episodes were produced as standalone short animated films for Nickelodeon; but after the series was nominated for a CableACE Award, more segments were produced for Kablam!.^[1] The series was initially called The Misfits, but Nickelodeon had Willems change the series' title (and re-animate the intro) at the last moment before its television debut.^[1] The series was the first to end on KaBlam! after Willems moved to Cartoon Network to create Sheep in the Big City; it too was cancelled after two years on the air.

The show features a distinct art style, with flat, dry colors. The animation is similar to that of UPA, and Hanna-Barbera cartoons. The series itself (especially in story and concept) pays homage to the classic Peanuts TV specials, especially since the majority of the voice cast are child actors. Each episode is composed with a jazz genre, occasionally includes big-band music, but mostly including a combination of a piano, drums and a double bass. Each segment was two to four minutes in length. Most of the soundtracks in the shorts are similar to The Pink Panther cartoon shorts.

After 15 years of being considered lost, the Off Beats Valentine Special can be viewed on YouTube as of February 27, 2014.^[2]

*Taken from wikipedia.

All videos were edited from episodes of "Kablam!". All videos in the "Special" Folder were ripped from the web as they are stand alone episodes not contained in "Kablam!". The Valentines Special is a VHS rip, I also color corrected it as best as I could. PLEASE NOTE: The files contained here are ONLY for "The Offbeats". The "specials" folder contains specials as in episodes not aired on "Kablam!".

Fair enough and someone I know called Stephen Gardner the guy that played as Winston Boule one of The Boolies in Race Rabbit has episodes of Race Rabbit on DVD and it might be the first ones from kablam season 3 episodes 7 and 10 (or 8 and 9 if you wish to desire and desire to wish)
Including one that didn’t air in kablam season 3 coz well basically I keep dreaming about episodes of Race Rabbit that haven’t been in any episodes of kablam season 3 and I wonder why I keep getting dreams about that after watching the eps

Hi there @Alexander Kerr,

To locate the "special" folder, please select "Show All" from the download options on the left. The Special folder is only episode of "The OffBeats" that were not aired on Kablam. As for stand alone shorts of Race Rabbit, I don't believe there are stand alone shorts, I don't believe there actually are any and any that you may find will be edits, actually cut and lifted from KaBlam!. Those may be as close as you can get to stand alone episodes, even the episodes of "The Off-Beats" that I uploaded, were edited and cut by myself from episodes of KaBlam!.
